Part of the Vista Signing Naturally Series, the most popular and widely used sign language curriculum for teaching American Sign Language as a foreign/second language. Based on the functional-notational approach, almost every major university and college Sign Language program has adopted it as its official curriculum. Signing Naturally students will find many advantages in this new study aid. Learn how sign movements can be modified to change meaning, how and when facial expressions occur, and how body, head and eye movements are used in phrasing and agreement. Humorous and informative stories help the student develop strategies for deriving meaning without understanding every sign. Each of the five units ends with a Language in Performance " where noted ASL artists Ben Bahan, Ella Mae Lentz and Freda Norman perform handshape stories, cheers and songs, poetry, drama, storytelling, and legends. Dr. Sam Supalla introduces each performance with background and cultural information. All language used is appropriate for students of Level 2 curriculum materials.
